A brave look, but amazingly practical. Think about it. The shorts suit enables you to look seriously dapper at any number of summer events, whilst allowing you to remain cool when the sun’s beating down. It’s also hugely

versatile – it can be worn as a full suit, split up into separates or restyled to suit any occasion. And did we mention you’d look seriously dapper? We did? Oh.

Keep it minimal and let the tailoring do the talking. Team your shorts suit with a basic tee – but give a nod to sports-luxe by styling with sneakers and white socks.

As a key seasonal trend, a bold floral shirt will take you seamlessly from day to evening. And back to day again, if the party’s really good.

For truly refined summer style, team your tailored shorts with a sharp white shirt. If it starts to get a bit chilly (in Britain, this happens a lot), simply layer on a classic navy mac.
